minus-squareAgreeableLandscape@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up4·edit-24 years agoPlenty of great suggestions already, and I echo most of them, but I’m going to add two that I haven’t see mentioned: Luminous for blocking specific JavaScript events and event handlers (I use it mainly for reducing the effectiveness of session recording). uMatrix for blocking site (anti)features on a per-domain per-site basis. Sadly, it seems they’re both no longer being developed, but they still work fine for the time being.
